Theatre and orchestra production companies benefit from a tax credit regime to support the development of their work. The special company tax reliefs provide a doubling of the tax deduction for certain expenditure. In the event of a loss, it may be ‘surrendered’ in return for a ‘payable tax credit’ from HMRC, at the rate of 25%.
Given Shipleys’ specialism in TV and film – particularly in the field of tax credits – we also help others in the creative industries to make the most of the current relief regimes. Not only are the schemes very similar, they are administered by the same people at HM Customs & Excise (HMRC).
